"Party aims to include OBC, tribals, youth and women," says Pratibha Singh after Himachal Congress state body dissolution

Shimla (Himachal Pradesh) [India], November 7 (ANI): After All India Congress Committee on Wednesday dissolved its Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) unit of Himachal Pradesh to revamp it, Congress leader Pratibha Singh said that the party aims to include OBC, tribals, youth and women,
She said that party workers who had done good work in the past would be awarded good positions.
In a significant move towards reorganization and consolidation, AICC has dissolved all State, district and block-level bodies of the Himachal Pradesh Congress, following a joint request by state Congress leaders, including Pratibha Singh and Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu.
"We will try to include those who were not actively seen in Assembly elections or Lok Sabha elections...We will try to include OBC, tribals, youth, women. Those who have done good work in the party will be given good positions so that they can rejuvenate their team...," said Pratibha Singh.
"Our aim is to strengthen the party so that we can fight the BJP well and also win the next Assembly elections... We will strengthen this party further, make it more active... We will soon discuss this (selection of new unit) with all the senior leaders ...," added Pratibha Singh.
Earlier in the day, speaking to media in Shimla, Pratibha Singh explained the rationale behind this development, attributing it to discussions with the Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister of Himachal Pradesh.
On the dissolution of the Himachal Pradesh Congress's district and block-level executive committee, Congress state president Pratibha Singh said that she had taken this decision after talking to the Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister of Himachal Pradesh, after which the high command was requested to dissolve these executive committees.
She said that for this she thanks the central high command, who has taken this decision after thinking over it. Singh emphasized the need to create an inclusive new executive committee that would represent diverse communities and groups within the state, particularly tribal people, OBCs, women, and members of the Scheduled Castes.
In a firm stance on revitalizing party discipline, Singh added that inactive senior members, especially those balancing government roles with party work, may be replaced with other active members who can dedicate themselves fully to party objectives.
"The old people are not working and such people who are in the government and also in the party should remove them or leave them and suggest the name of some other person so that we can bring them forward and they work unitedly day and night for the party. That is why I requested and everyone agreed to it. Now all the senior people will work unitedly to strengthen the organization."
The new structure, once finalized, will reflect a more streamlined, dedicated cadre focused on cohesive leadership. "The decision to dissolve the executive committee was taken yesterday. Everyone will sit together and discuss the matter and whatever suggestions there will be considered. Soon a new executive committee will be formed," Singh assured.
This step signifies an important shift for the Himachal Pradesh Congress, highlighting its commitment to inclusivity and a strong organizational framework as it looks towards the future. (ANI)
